Tales from the front lines of dating, marriage, and Hollywood — one chapter at a time.

Welcome to the (sometimes disastrous, occasionally triumphant, often ridiculous) story of one woman’s romantic life — past and present. Told through 45 chapters, this serialized journey tracks a young Hollywood hopeful as she navigates bad dates, good sex, worse decisions, and the occasional relationship that might actually be worth fighting for.

Part love story, part cautionary tale, part therapy-through-storytelling — this series bounces between the ghosts of boyfriends past and the ongoing question of whether the marriage she’s in now can be saved.

It’s honest, funny, sometimes messy — and it just might feel familiar.

New chapters drop twice a week. Start from the beginning, or dive in anywhere. And if you’ve ever asked yourself:

Is he worth it? Should I stay? Should I leave? Should I block him and fake my own death?
— you're in the right place.

**A Note on Truth and Fiction: While this book is inspired by real conversations, personal experiences, and emotional truths, it is a work of fiction. Names, identifying details, and timelines have been changed, blurred, or combined to protect privacy—including my own. Any resemblance to actual people, living or dead, is purely coincidental… or at least unintentional.

These stories are drawn from many women’s lives, not just mine. If you see yourself in these pages, know that you’re not alone—and also probably not the only one who inspired the scene.
